I and Mikey had made plans over the night to meet up tonight as he wanted to continue our conversation and also spend time with me.
I almost didn't agree but the comfort of seeing a familiar face won.
I walked into the trendy bar the next day, the room alive with the sounds of laughter, clinking glasses, and soft music.
The atmosphere was warm and inviting and I found a cozy corner where the gentle glow of candles lit up the table. I had come here wondering what the night would bring.
A few minutes later Mikey joined me as he was able to find me in the small crowd. He looked relaxed and confident, as if time had not dimmed his spark at all.
We exchanged a quick, friendly nod before he ordered us our drinks.
I could see the genuine smile on his face as he did, and for a moment, I felt the weight of the past lift a little.
We sipped our drinks as we began to talk, and the conversation soon turned personal.
